I would think twice before wiping out the system compiler in favour of
gcc-3.1. I'm fairly sure that gcc-3.1 won't compile the world
correctly on 4-STABLE. By all means install 3.1 as a second compiler,
but keep the old version around too.
Of course, 5-CURRENT has gcc-3.x as the default compiler. If you're a
bleeding-edge fanatic, you could take a look at the developer preview.
Be warned that it might be even closer to the edge than you could cope
with though.
Cheers,
Matthew
